Martinez - Almeria Artist ZS

The Martinez Almeria Artist ZS delivers the clarity typical of a spruce top – a wood that responds quickly in the treble without hardening the bass. The 650 mm scale length maintains the dimensions of a full-size classical guitar, a far cry from the 3/4 sizes typically reserved for beginners.

The ziricote back and sides add a richness of grain that few woods can match, a pattern that is never repeated from one instrument to the next. The rosewood bridge transmits the vibration of the strings to the top without dampening it in wood that is too soft.

The mahogany neck holds its shape under the tension of the strings, and the rosewood fingerboard remains smooth under the fingers, season after season. The 52 mm bone nut provides generous string spacing for arpeggio and classical picking techniques.

The gloss finish in a natural colour highlights the grain of the ziricote rather than covering it up. Manufactured in China as part of MARTINEZ’s Almeria series, this classical guitar is aimed at those who want a full-size instrument, with a grain pattern that varies from one piece to another.
